Let’s talk about Frozen Custard

Frozen Custard is a cold dessert. It’s very similar to ice cream but is made with eggs in addition to cream and sugar. It is usually stored at a warmer temperature than ice cream, and tends to have a denser consistency.

Ice Cream VS Frozen Yoghurt

Soft serve ice creams often have an overrun as large as 100 percent. This means half of the final product produced is composed of air.
When made in a continuous freezer, Frozen Custard can have an overrun of 15 –30 percent, depending on the machine used. Frozen Custard has a similar overrun percentage to Gelato.

Frozen Yoghurt, also known as ‘Froyo’ or ‘Frogurt’ is a frozen dessert made from yoghurt and often other dairy products and non-dairy products. Frozen Yoghurt is usually slightly lighter and sharper than ice cream, it’s also far lower in fat due to the use of milk instead of cream. tart
Frozen Yoghurt usually consists of milk solids, a sweetener, milk fat, yoghurt culture, natural/artificial flavouring, and in some cases, natural or artificial colouring.
